Trump Warns Israel: Stop 'Interfering' With Our Interference
The irony of Trump warning Israel about 'interference' is rich, considering his administration's own policies regarding Syria, including military presence and sanctions. This isn't a sudden concern for Syrian sovereignty, but rather, a classic case of managing proxies. The raid on Beit Jinn, alleged to target Jama'a Islamiya members, wasn't 'interference' in the diplomatic sense; it was a
calibrated action within a larger regional chessboard the US helps direct. One might wonder if the 'warning' is less about preventing Israeli actions and more about ensuring those actions remain within US-approved parameters. This isn't a shift in US allegiance; it’s a public scolding to maintain the illusion of control while the US continues to funnel billions in military aid—like the $14 billion
allocated in HR 815, a mere formality for many politicians after accepting significant donations from groups like AIPAC (OpenSecrets.org data confirms this pattern year after year). How many countries get to 'interfere' while enjoying America's 'concerned' disapproval?
